Just checking in.

Sounds like a nice, practical day ahead, @CheerBear, with no pressure, and the chance to just enjoy having your house be your own again.

Yes, book launch today. Looking forward to it. Will be a challenge on the social level, glad to be stretching myself more in that way, even if I need some recovery time afterwards. 

I think I'd better get some more sleep before getting up to get ready for that a bit later. Relatively early leaving time to get down there to the country town from here.

Thanks for another lovely chat. Love and good vibes for your day.

Morning ladies ..... I am awake early ..... just starting to get my sleep patterns back into the right sort of place before I blow them again with state and country changes .... :face_with_rolling_eyes: 

Always lovely to see you both and hear the appreciation of early-morning sights and sounds.

Hugs @CheerBear ..... whatever my personal beliefs are, my faith system teaches that we are to mind our own decisions and not to judge others ....  because we have no right to .... and we don’t know everything ....  and we are not living in someone else’s shoes with all the strains, nuances, life experiences and pressures they have / are experiencing .... we can only offer a perspective if we are invited to, but we are emplored to “see and love the person” without trying to control or judge them.  I wish I could make things better for you, but I have no picture of what that would look like, so I am sitting beside you with a big box of tissues, and chocolate, which is just as important in F&H World ..... and the biggest hug I can find ......

@Mazaritawishing you the best for your day ahead, hoping heaps that the outing and the interaction is awesome for you. Really looking forward to hearing about it. Thank you for the chat - you brighten my mornings ❤

You brought tears, in the nicest way @Faith-and-Hope. You were on my mind when I started talking about this, knowing you wander around with your giant heart open. I was aware that our beliefs may not be exactly the same here and I was a little worried about that. (Editing to add that in reading the above, I think we actually share pretty similar views ❤). I saw and have seen you under that support button and it has truly made a difference. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Tissues, chocolate and hugs - best 😘❤

[Faith-and-Hope]

Hoping you have a wonderful day @Mazarita 💕

Huge decisions are never easy @CheerBear .... and I live under judgement in my own situation from people who presume to know better than me, and probably (or not even probably) with only half the story because the rest is well hidden from view .... and that just makes everything so much more painful ....

Hugs and tissues and self-care .... very necessary.

Good morning, @CheerBear. Here again at ridiculous-o-clock. Not yet 4am by my clock and only slept for about 2 hours so far tonight. Just went online to cancel my breastscreen appointment for today, until a couple of weeks away. Only about the fifth time I've changed this appointment, lol. Need to take a rest day after another big day yesterday, for the book launch in the country town about an hour from here. Glad I went but it was really exhausting. Anyway, will be able to catch up on sleep later now, so here for a chat if you are around too. Otherwise, hope the day brings some good feelings to you. 

[CheerBear]

Good morning @Mazarita. Glad you are able to cancel your appointment so you can have a rest day today, and that you're able t do it online. So much easier making and changing and canceling appointments online!

Hugs for the exhausting yesterday.

I'm feeling pretty sick this morning, so much so that I am still in bed which is unusual. About to get up though as I like at least an hour of awake time before the kids are up.

[Mazarita]

Ugh to the sick feelings, @CheerBear. I won't send hugs because real hugs might make you sicker! Just a bit of lame early morning humour to start the day. I do hope things improve for you over the next little while, with your feelings of physical wellbeing. Will you be able to make your appointment today?

[CheerBear]

Haha thanks @Mazarita 🙂 I have to make my appointment today as I need some dates so I know how long I have to make a decision. I'll have a tea and some toast and a shower and will be right.

I told friend and it ended up being one of the most emotional conversations I've ever had. He was so kind, supportive and thoughtful. No closer to a decision but incredibly glad we spoke.
